Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe . Jeff, Following up on our conversation regarding the resident' s concerns about using explosives in well MW- 7 , which was measured to be 14 . 8 feet from his domestic well . Condor is requesting a variance to your monitoring well destruction guidelines to destroy well MW - 7 by pressure grouting without the use of explosives for the following reasons : 1 . Close proximity of well MW - 7 to existing domestic well . As indicated above , monitoring well MW - 7 is located 14 . 8 feet from the existing domestic well ( see photo sheets, attached ) . The close proximity, along with the sandy nature of the soil , provides a high level of unease on the part of the resident, Jose Cano , that impact from the explosives could cause damage to his well . 2 . Lack of information related to construction details of the domestic well . Condor, as well as previous consultant Lee & Pierce , conducted an exhaustive search for information related to the construction of Mr . Cano ' s domestic well but could find no details, neither from the files of EHD , nor from the Department of Water Resources . The most we could find was by contacting Paul ' s Pump , which serviced the well in 2012 . Paul ' s pump indicated to Lee & Pierce that the pump in the well was set at 65 feet, and the depth of the well was measured at 69 feet . Paul ' s Pump had no information on lithology or well construction details . Therefore , we cannot verify if the domestic well has a 50400t sanitary seal or even if it is screened or " open hole " below the steel casing . 3 . Well MW - 7 was installed by Secor/West Hazmat drilling in August 2000 . Since that time , improvements to the residence have been made that make access to the well impossible , including shade awnings, fencing, etc . Overhead lines also prevent appropriate clearances needed by the drilling rig ( see photos attached ) .
